Virtual Group Volunteer (BSL Video Group Volunteer)

Come and join the fun …. We need friendly, outgoing and welcoming volunteers to assist at our regular online group meet ups. Are you a BSL user or do you have BSL Skill Level 2 or equivalent and want to put your skills to good use. Then we may have the role for you!

Our members really enjoy getting together and, here at Deafblind UK, we run a BSL Video Group every second Tuesday of the month from 2.00-3.00pm where our members get together online.

How can you help…?

Virtual Group Volunteers are a fantastic support to our members and you can also benefit immensely by gaining new friendships yourself. We are looking for volunteers to support in facilitating small groups to enable our members to make the most of their time together, encouraging chat and opening up discussions so everyone gets a chance to participate.

No previous experience is required but a familiarity with the appropriate technology and having access to a computer, laptop or tablet would be required. A confident, outgoing personality with a good sense of humour goes a long way too!

Dual sensory loss can be isolating and lonely, however getting people together to enjoy each other's company goes a long way to tackling this.

We provide full training and ongoing support in this role and ask for a minimum commitment of three months.
